On 10 May 1972, Roger Locher's parachute deposited him in the jungle 40 miles northwest of Hanoi. He knew he would be quickly captured if he failed to get away from his landing site. The MiG would certainly have radioed his position, and his chute, which hung in the trees, stood out like a beacon. Fighting shock and exhaustion, he moved to some dense vegetation and took stock of his situation. Deep in enemy territory and without food, he thought, "If they're going to capture me, they'll have to step on me." Thus, he began a 23-day evasion and survival effort that has become a textbook example for other fliers. Searchers passed within yards of his hiding places in the jungle but were unable to flush him out. Existing on a sparse diet of unripe fruit and berries, he lost 30 pounds and grew very weak. Finally, he established radio contact with US planes on the 22nd day after his ejection. The next day a coordinated rescue effort involving 38 aircraft hoisted him out of the jungle and back to friendly lines.

The autograph(s) has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
